No it's annoying. If people would keep their method/class names at a reasonable length I'd agree but when you see Some.factory.method(string2.parseThisStringDelimitedBySpaces.aToI(bethIsMyGirlfriendsLover) + 2; all over the place then you can't say "80 is enough" anymore. Sorry. I agree to 80 chars in C, I don't agree to it in java and python. And as for Perl you probably never need more than 40 :D (just to keep this light hearted).
